I don't know much about Neobux, are you only allowed to have one pending cashout perhaps? I know I've seen this on some other sites before.

I am a very happy member of Neobucks. I have never had any problems at all and have always been paid within minutes of requesting payment. Have you checked your user acct details and make sure that they are set up correctly with your paypal info? Did you delete your cookies and try it again? Other than that, I would contact them to see what the issue is. Hopefully you get it straightened out and get paid.

Yeah, that's strange. Neobux has so far been the only PTC that hasn't let me down.

They have also put a limit of 30 direct referrals for standard members.
Looks like even Neobux is running out of money.

I've never been very fond of PTC sites. All of the ones I've seen have had a lot of ridiculous limits and other drawbacks, but NeoBux is the only one I have found so far that isn't too bad. Not yet anyways.

I could name off a bunch of things I don't like about the site, but really what makes me choose them out of all of the other PTC sites is that they literally instantly pay when you request payout, they don't skip/steal referrals, you get a full cent for each click, and half for each referral. All those things, in itself, is typically asking way, way, wayyyy too much of any PTC site.

Lets just hope they can keep up with it. -_-

They have added an option to remove them. Yay :)
Hopefully its free of charge.

EDIT: Yes it's free to remove them

maybe im not giving them fair enough chance will give it a bit more see what i come up with

I believe they have, also, instituted a policy that allows long time members to have more referrals...even standard members. The longer you are there, the more referrals you can have.

KatLady

5th March 2009, 01:55

Yup. Right now I believe you can only have any referrals at all if you have been there at least 30 days. Then, you can have your 30 refs immediately.

After that, your ref limit works like this:

30 + (total days registered minus 30 [divided by] 4) = total ref limit.

So, say you have been there for 90 days. You would get your first 30 since you were there for at least a month, plus 15 from the additional 60 days. (30 + (60 ÷ 4) = 45).

I just joined a few days ago but it has been fine. Have not reached the min $2 yet.
Yeah I still can not get referrals to it. You must have at least 100 clicks and been a member for 30 days before you can refer others. Strange rules

on top of that if you dont click ads the next day you dont get paid for your referral clicks - i suppose i can understand this but geez that amongst everything else

So what you're saying is that if I miss a day of clicking I don't get paid for the clicks my referrals make the day before?

If you go inactive they take away whatever you've earned even if your account does get reactivated......no matter that every time I tried to login for almost a month they had problems on THEIR site.

from what i understand from another member - if you don't click your ads on DAY A then you won't get paid for your referral clicks on DAY B - If you then click your ads on DAY B you will then get paid for Referral Clicks on DAY C - Please someone correct me if I am wrong as this is how i was explained

The forums at Neobux are a mishmash of talking in riddles and bad English (I realize the site has international members so don't jump on me for my comment) and I have difficulty following some of the advice given because of those issues.

I told my husband that they talk a lot but don't really tell you much. :D

I have also noticed that a core group of "old-timers" are quite terse and impatient with new members which I find a complete turn-off; someone will ask a question and the big response they get is "read the forums".

Well, guess what? If the forum had a decent search feature or if it allowed me to find posts that I had made it might be easier for people to read. There is so much chatter going on there that it is difficult to keep up. A post I might make today is quickly buried and of course I have no way of finding my post again because that ability isn't available in my profile (and if it is I sure as heck can't find it).

And what is this nonsense about clicking at server time? Do they mean the time at which my ads reset? Bottom line in my opinion is that if I click at or around the same time every day then there will be no issues about me getting credit for the clicks my referrals make.

They say read the forums because there is a section called something like this "how to/tips" something. There you can see oldschoolers telling about their beginning.

Basicly they say that they spammed referral link everywhere and invested a lot and that they earned much more before from referrals.

Also some people tell different tactics to replace referrals.

MouseWrangler

9th May 2009, 05:29

I have to say, I love the concept of Neobux. It's nice having some control over your referrals, rented or otherwise.

The site is well designed and the layout appeals to my OCD of wanting things laid out neatly. ;)

I am not getting rich but in one month I am halfway to earning back my original investment. My plan is to cash out once I make the original investment back and carry on from there.

Hopefully I will be able to get some direct referrals in the future. :)

I have absolutely no doubt that they pay but I still think their forums are useless. :laugh:

Does neobux have a sliding payout scale? I was paid once VERY quickly but was told the next payout would be higher?

Anyone know and if so what the amount is?

Thanks

Neobux payouts increase $1.00 each time you request until you reach $10.00, then it is always $10.00

u know i joined them like a month ago couldnt log in - couldnt do any of the contact pages or forum cause you had to be logged in to access or post on those pages

finally after a month jessicamichelle explains about the weird secondary password deal how your not supposed to fill that in - ok so i think thats dumb why have and if your gonna have at least explain that its optional or something so people dont do what i do as im sure im not the first one to do it

anyways get in - im suspended due to inactivity and of course since im suspended i cant access any of the support contact or forum pages GRRR

so i ask jessicamichelle again and she says that admin says to just create a new account so after all this time im finally able to get in - she of course warns me to be careful about when i first click an ad something about it setting a life time TIMe of when your offers reset - ok little frustrating why not just make it a 24 click rule after 24 hours you can click again as with most sites

ok what ever so i start looking at the rest of the stuff - you cant upgrade until you have rented upgrades twice - and you have to wait XXX amount of time before your allowed to upgrade

now this new thing you can only have xx number of referrals

on top of that you also have to wait XX number of days before you can even start referring people to be in your downline

on top of that if you dont click ads the next day you dont get paid for your referral clicks - i suppose i can understand this but geez that amongst everything else

its like dang what is up with all these rules and PITA functions

Worth a boycott? No I wouldnt say so as they are paying there members

Worth a no thanks i will skip your site and spend my time somewhere else - YES!!

I am not a member of this site as some of the things on thier site were a turn off to me. I find your views here interesting. I also find it interesting however that the OP of this thread (http://www.gptboycott.com/forum/showthread.php?p=114375#post114375) seems to want to pattern the 'ideal PTC site' for all other PTC sites after Neobux. Now keeping in mind that the OP of the other thread also admits that he has been banned from 99% of the PTC sites he has worked which makes me wonder if Neobux even pays attention to the kind of members they let stay on their site.

If as someone has mentioned earlier that Neobux may be having money issues and they are letting people work their sites that 99% of the other sites have banned perhaps they should take a look at their members accounts more closely. They may have the same bot issue that other PTC sites have and may just need to do a little clean up to get back on track.

The main thing that turned me off to this site is the change in the cashout amounts. The first cashout being a small amount and the more you work the site the more you have to make to cashout. Why not just set one price and stick to it. I understand it levels off at ten dollars but really wouldnt it be just as easy to have a set price for all members. If anything I would think if a site is going to do that that they would start out with the first cashout being higher than the rest and reward the regular members with a lower amount for sticking with the site. If this were the case I would understand it as sites do tend to get a lot of new members that are constantly changing and the newer ones would take a little more time to check out to make sure they are not bots/bot programmers. I suppose they have their reasons but that one makes no sense to me.

I also do not care for sites that have no 'contact' button for the 'potential' member to be to ask questions before they join. Sometimes a question is not answered in the faq or the tos pages.

I really don't see any issues with this site. All the items that were brught up in this thread were answered, evidently to the poster's satisfaction, since no other comments were made.

Neobux runs their site the way they see fit. I have been paid many times, as have all members. I have not heard anyone state that they have not been paid. And the fact that the payouts are indeed instant is totally amazing to me. Makes me wonder why other sites can't do it, intead of waiting for weeks or months for payouts.

Neobux has good reputation before I joined.
After 2 months and reaching minimum payout and attempt to cash out, it suspended my account without any explanation.

Funny thing is I can still login and allow me to click more Ads.

They only suspend me the cashout page.

Suck!

There is no such thing as "cashout suspension".
If your account had been really suspended, you'd see the suspended page after logging in and you could browse the TOS and send a support ticket (depending on the suspension).

Although things are made as simply as they can be, we're all different.
In the login page, as soon as you enter the "Secondary password" field you're presented with a notice text just below it like this: "Leave blank if you don't have a Secondary Password". Self-explanatory.
When you're suspended due to inactivity, two things will happen depending on the inactivity suspension:
1) If you NEVER used your account in the first 72 hours or your account has been permanently suspended for 60 days, you'll see the suspension notice an a notice informing you what happened and that you can register a new account. No support needed here.
2) If your account has been only temporarly suspended due to a consecutive 30 days inactivity, you'll see a notice informing you that if you want your account to be re-opened, all you need to do is send us a support ticket (and yes, it works).

Upgrade limitation is set to prevent users from going to an advance stage without knowing how to operate their account and manage their referrals. Although it's actually user's money to spend, we don't need unsatisfied users. After that rule was introduced, global satisfaction increased ten-fold.

The referral limitations are only set to prevent cheaters from giving unnecessary trouble right on the beginning. We've reduced multi-account creations by aproximatelly 90% with that rule alone.

NeoBux has no money issues and we never had them since our debut.
We keep a close eye on all of our members accounts which allows us to keep a steady unwanted filter of users. If we hadn't, it would be catastrophic to say the least.

The incremental cashout amount, while small and very low, is indeed needed.
This keeps users more productive and prevents escalation of cheating attempts like, but not limited to, multiple accounts.

Our help page provides all the needed basic information and, along with the rules in our terms of service and privacy policy, explains everything a user needs to know before registration. We also keep an open forum for visitors where everything has been discussed and solved.
Everything else the user needs to know after opening an account is usually explained in our member's FAQ. User's can also post their doubts in the forum and / or Chat and will get their questions answered very quickly.
In case they need some confidentiality or a higher degree certainty, we offer them Live Support in two languages and Support Tickets in three languages.

Thank you. I appreciate your feedback here. I am not a member of your site and I admit your site is different from the ones I have been working. I was not implying that your site was in any way a bad site. It is just different from what I am used to. Perhaps when I have more time on my hands I will try your site out myself. Right now I am working well over thirty sites and that is plenty for me. It could have been just a glitch the night I went to the site to look at it but when I went to the forum and tried to read it all I got was blank pages. I could read the main page but when clicking on a thread to read it the page was just blank. I looked for a contact button but saw none there. I would have emailed my questions if I had seen an email addy on there to you. I am not saying it is not there. I just did not see one. I do appreciate your clarifying things here tho. I got my answers now. Thank you. :)

One of the biggest things I like about Neobux is you can get rid of your lame referrals. :D

I never will understand why people sign up and only click one ad per day when they have access to at least 3-4. :cool:

Unfortunately, and to give me headaches, most users don't take this too seriously.
First days after registrations are always great but then they start to lose interest. Many return, though, and when they do they seem more motivated towards a goal.

MouseWrangler

3rd June 2009, 20:28

Very true Neo.

Sadly, some of them sign up and don't click a darn thing. I'm not too worried about that now since I don't have many directs but I would imagine it's quite frustrating for those who are at or near their quota. :(

KAINSMONEY

12th June 2009, 05:03

Yeah , hard to get active referrals in neobux , not too many people understand whats a referral and earning 4 cents a day , it will take at least 50 days to reach $ 2 payout .

MouseWrangler

12th June 2009, 20:34

However (and this is a huge however for me) Neobux does not piss and fart around with tons of ads that are worth one tenth of a cent or less.

All ads are at least half a cent and it doesn't take you all night to click hundreds of ads to earn a couple of cents.

I would rather spend 5 minutes clicking at Neobux and earning 0.04 than half my night somewhere else clicking more links for less money.

And, if you know how to manage your referrals you will do well.

The fact that I actually have some control over my referrals is quite appealing to me. :)

The only real complaint that I have about Neobux is that some of the "old timers" or those who think they know it all are very terse with the newcomers in the forums.

Those people need to understand that newbies have questions and you need to have patience with them.

Remember, that ignorant newbie could be your referral and you being a jerk to them can put them off. ;)

And one more thing I like about Neobux: the design and layout of the site is neat and easy on the eyes unlike most of the garishly decorated PTC sites out there.

Sorry folks, but god-awful colours and mismatched neon graphics are a surefire way to put people off.

Not to mention spelling and grammar mistakes...oy. ;)

NeoBux

17th June 2009, 06:15

I believe the biggest reason for the waiting period is to cut down on bot use. ;)

Think about it: if you can register and then run amok adding fake referrals and using bots to click for you it's bad for Neobux.

I think for the most part people who intend to cheat the system will not have the patience to wait 30 days and they sure as heck ain't gonna stick around and meet all the other requirements.

That's true.
Cheaters get caught 90% of the time.
After this rule was introduced, the amount of multi-accounts dropped entirely. Not that it was hard to identify and ban cheaters but it took too long.
Although the automated verification system is almost flawless, I still like to review everything not to suspend innocent users. Imagine thousands of flagged accounts per day being throughly checked... it was a nightmare and increasing exponentially everyday.
It's good for everyone in the end.

I wonder if Neobux is aware they have been cloned. Check this out. First take a good look at http://www.neobux.com/ then take a look at their clone on this link http://www.buxsky.com/. Maybe it is just me but it sure seems a lot of copycatting of designs is going around. If an owner cannot have any thought of their own as far as the design of the sites they own then what does that say for their ability to think for themselves when running their sites? Just food for thought here guys. :\

Neobux is the king of PTCs on the planet. With low cash out, super fast payments, active referrals and free recycling, what more can one desire.

In addition, feedback is important to them. In their forum all questions and issues are dealt with promptly. In fact, no problem is left unresolved! Their FAQ and TOS explain everything.

Neobux is so trustworthy, they go beyond the meaning of the word.......

I am a happy member!

It has nothing to do with ambition or drive (were you accusing "me" of not having either of those?)

But I digress...I've never even been a member of Neobux but from what I have seen here and other places about these BUX sites and even some code that one posted here, yes, I have came to the conclusion that the referral rentals are merely bots.

How else can you explain the unlimited supply and the initial activity of each and then they fade off "just before" you make profit.

Too many coincidences in my book (not to mention the code that one of the BUX programmers posted here a month ago or so).

I am curious to another side of all of this. I have read all the threads about bots for referrals and was curious if the site is selling bots as referrals and has unlimited to sell. How is this affecting the advertisers?

Surely the bots are clicking on advertisers ads, which in turn means the advertiser is getting x amounts of blind clicks to their ads? If this is so then the advertiser is being ripped off as well. I realize many of the threads about neobux are about the members and bot referrals, but how would these bots affect the advertiser?

Surely the bots are clicking on advertisers ads, which in turn means the advertiser is getting x amounts of blind clicks to their ads? If this is so then the advertiser is being ripped off as well. I realize many of the threads about neobux are about the members and bot referrals, but how would these bots affect the advertiser?

No, I am quite confident the advertisers aren't affected at all.

These bots don't actually "click" anything. All they do is randomly add credit to members who purchase them (and then suddenly "die" before the member makes profit, of course).

I wish these bots DID make blind clicks on ads...then we can prove once and for all what sites use them (we could setup a page with analytics ;) )

Besides, 95% of all ads on these type of sites are the owners ads anyway and the "business" is the processing of these bots.

Neobux is only good if you are upgrade member and have a lot of direct referrals , for all i heard , for some months , renting referral is instant lose .

I stopped renting referrals at Neobux quite some time ago.

However, I have a couple of active referrals, Neo has paid me, and their ads are worth from half a cent to one full penny for me as a standard member as opposed to the paltry one/one hundredth of a cent other places offer.

Click on 50+ links and make less than a penny? No thanks I have better things to do with my time.

Unlike a lot of the places I am a member of they respond to inquiries and they pay instantly.

I recently contacted a couple of places I belong to about frame jump ads and not only did the admins not respond to me the jump ads are still in place.

Great way to run a business.

One of the places I tried to contact even has a PTC ad up but there is no link. Don't these idiots look after their boards or check on their ads?

Sheesh!

It has nothing to do with ambition or drive (were you accusing "me" of not having either of those?)

But I digress...I've never even been a member of Neobux but from what I have seen here and other places about these BUX sites and even some code that one posted here, yes, I have came to the conclusion that the referral rentals are merely bots.

How else can you explain the unlimited supply and the initial activity of each and then they fade off "just before" you make profit.

Too many coincidences in my book (not to mention the code that one of the BUX programmers posted here a month ago or so).

It strikes me as odd that you don't know how NeoBux really works.

First and foremost, you're adding NeoBux to the mix of all other Bux sites out there which is totally untrue. What you refer as an event in other bux sites it generally true but since the begging, we've been more than a standard PTC with internal policies that no others have the courage to try.
Adding bots would cause an inevitable bankruptcy after only 3 months. We all seen that happening everywhere. It's mathematically simple to calculate that and PTCs that operate that way only have two justifications: Either the owner doesn't know simple maths or the plan to scam is already defined. NO PTC with bots can survive more than 3 months and, guess what, we've been here for 18 months already.

Secondly, we don't have an "unlimited supply" of referrals. If we did, we wouldn't limit user's rentals to the actual availability, would we? No, we would be millionaires, but that's not what happens. We also wouldn't have complaints for all those members who spend months trying to rent the few referrals available. All would be a paradise but, as explained above, only for 3 months.

If you're referring to the 11% of users who in the last 18 months have failed to profit, there's nothing we can do about it. Many don't seem to understand the basics of account management and some don't even read the rules that would help them succeed and some should know that cheating in NeoBux is not allowed.
The good thing about our users is that most of them have the ability to calculate and manage the simple things in life and by doing so they operate NeoBux easily and profit tremendously well.
So, they don't "fade off" before users profit.

Now tell me, of all the people in the world, how many are willing to win 4 cents per day? Not that many, right? Just a very tiny percentage, actually. And that's what happens with real users in a real world. They want to be rich and if that can happen in one day, the better. It's hard to convince anyone to stay active when they can only win 4 cents per day. Also, we don't advertise our services or try to sell them as all others do. The user must be conscious and ambitious enough to seek information about those services and subscribe them. We even limit upgrades so that users can know us better before they jump in. PTC users are so used to bots that they forget that real life is completely different. Although I could say that this kind of thought is bad, I can't because when we started, I was completely sure that real users would be tremendously active. Little did I knew about it, I admit now. It's totally logic if you think about all the facts that make an active and and inactive user but at the time I failed to think about those facts.

So, there you have it. A simple explanation involving mathematical and sociological behavior that explains you in a nut-shell that people aren't bots. They're just greedy and impatient. It's normal and nothing to condemn them for.

If I tried to give one dollar per click instead of one cent, you would see how activity would change completely ;)
